Express the years as full Gregorian years (e.g., 1988 instead of 88)
and months with natural numbers (1-12 rather than 0-11).

Compare actual dates rather than indexes when selecting the era name.

Declare the local variable era as a string character pointer rather
than an array of chars where the actual string is copied which might
lead to potential buffer overflows in future.

The original author: Rafal Luzynski <digitalfreak@lingonborough.com>

ChangeLog:

	* time/tst-strftime2.c (date_t): Explicitly define the type.
	(dates): Use natural month and year numbers to express a date.
	(is_before): New function to compare dates.
	(mkreftable): Minor improvements to simplify maintenance.
	(do_test): Reflect the changes in dates array.

Hello TAMUKI-san,

Thank you for working on this patch series.  Please see my remarks:

I have learned a new pattern from DJ Delorie. [1] This could be:

typedef enum {
  Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec
} Month;

typedef struct
{
  const int d;
  const Month m;
  const int y;
} date_t;

static const date_t dates[] =
{
  {  1, Apr, 1988 ),
  {  7, Jan, 1989 ),
  {  8, Jan, 1989 ),
  ...

As a result, months would be zero-based and still human-readable.
No more need to subtract 1.

Also please note Carlos' later remarks about the formatting of
DJ's patches which should be applied here as well. [2]

You described this change in your another email:

I agree with all your other changes but not so much with this one.
Somehow I developed a habit that it is a bad design to rely on
the global variables because this is an open door for hard to
debug side effects.  Maybe it is an influence of some object oriented
languages like Java which does not have globals deliberately.
I would like to revert to the previous design, with the first
argument being a date pointer.  Which is again inspired by some
object oriented designs.

Rafal

Add enum and use below, this prevents constant and comment
getting out of sync.

/* Must match locale index into locales array.  */
typedef enum
   {
     ja_JP, lo_LA, th_TH
   } test_locale;

OK. Access of a global is fine here, this is just a test.

Use if (i == ja_JP)

Remove comment.

OK. For the record I'm *OK* with the use of \uXXXX in the test sources,
and if we have a bug we'll take it up with libcpp. I won't proscribe
the use of encoded byte strings, they have their uses and isolate us
from common mode failures in testing.

Use if (i == lo_LA)

Remove comment.

Use if (i == th_TH)

OK. First year in ja_JP.

OK. These are the formats being computed.

Remove assert and use:

FAIL_EXIT1 ("Invalid table index!");

OK. I like the use of proper years and 1-index months for test data.

That's a great idea.  What about an idea to define an enum of
months like DJ did in one of his recent patches?

That would make months zero-based and convenient to use at the same
time.

I'm OK with the rest of your comments.

This is just a test case, and I'd like it to land as quickly
as possible with the entire patch set. Therefore I don't want
to place any restrictions on this moving forward. We can clean
this up in another round of edits.

OK, I think you are right.  No need for endless polish of the
test cases, we have more important things to do.  Thank you
everybody for working on this!
